Art being made today defies coherent categorization, and the world presents itself, day after day, as spinning into confused chaos, structural disintegration, and violent disorder.

Résumé:
Can we speak of composition when we are in a state of unfathomable decomposition? Art being made today defies coherent categorization, and the world presents itself, day after day, as spinning into confused chaos, structural disintegration, and violent disorder. Revising his well-known histories of contemporary art, Terry Smith argues that we must respond to the compelling need for coeval composition at a time defined by the contemporaneity of divisive difference. This book traces how—despite many obstacles—visual artists across the globe are rising to this challenge.

Que nous dit-il de l’évolution de la contestation des projets et des politiques d’aménagement ? S’agit-il d’un épiphénomène, né des conditions très spécifiques de quelques conflits particuliers, d’une poussée de fièvre qui retombera dès que l’on aura trouvé les bons remèdes, ou de quelque chose de nouveau, signe d’une radicalisation durable de la contestation environnementale ? Faut-il s’attendre à une multiplication des ZAD chaque fois qu’une zone humide ou des terres agricoles seront menacées par un projet de ligne à grande vitesse, de centre commercial ou de rocade ?

"Architecture is all over" investigates architecture's simultaneous diminishment and ubiquity in the early twenty-first century. As a diagnostic and tactical guide, this collection features original texts and design proposals from emerging and established scholars and practitioners in the fields of architecture, art, the history of science, media studies, and philosophy. Together these pieces probe architecture's relationship to liminal zones and immaterial systems, reframing instability and mutability as enduring qualities that form architecture's motive core—a perspectival shift that carries with it new possibilities for architectural agency and resistance.

Résumé:
"Five ways to make architecture political" presents an innovative pragmatist agenda that will inspire new thinking about the politics of design and architectural practice. Moving beyond conventional conversations about design and politics, the book shows how recent developments in political philosophy can transform our understanding of the role of the architect. It asks: how, when, and under what circumstances can design practice generate political relations? How can architectural design become more 'political'? Five central chapters, which can be read alone or in sequence, explore the answers to these questions. Powerfully pragmatic in approach, each presents one of the 'five ways to make architecture political', and each is illustrated by case studies from a range of contemporary situations around the world. We see how politics happens in architectural practice, learn how different design technologies have political effects, and follow how architects reach different publics, trigger reactions and affect different communities worldwide.

Résumé:
Exploring the interaction between art and the public in Canadian cities, Urban Encounters features writing by artists, architects, curators, anthropologists, geographers, and urban studies specialists. They show how people and places affect the structure and content of public artworks, what kinds of urban spaces and socialities are generated through art, and how to investigate and interpret encounters between art and its viewers in the city. Discussing a variety of art forms, including mobile cinemas, street improvisation, audiovisual investigations, and assembled objects, the contributors treat public artworks not just as aesthetic installations, but as agents that participate in the social and cultural evolution of cities. Using original, hands-on approaches, Urban Encounters reveals how art in the urban public space generates encounters that can transform both the city itself and the ways that people relate to it.

En cette période de bouleversement géostratégique, technologique, tout est remis en cause. Il est inutile de nourrir la nostalgie de la ruralité d’hier ou celle de la grande période de l’aménagement du territoire?: elles appartiennent à l’histoire. Il faut, dans l’espace rural aussi, changer de vision du futur, revoir la méthode, refonder l’approche du développement et, surtout, accompagner la révolution numérique, qui constitue une opportunité exceptionnelle de prendre un nouveau départ,

Résumé:
Qu'est-ce que la cité ? Comment a-t-elle commencé ? Quelles ont été les phases de son développement ? Est-elle destinée à disparaître, ou notre planète se transformera-t-elle en une immense ruche urbaine, ce qui serait, pour les villes individualisées, une autre façon de disparaître ? Les besoins qui conduisirent les hommes vers ce mode d'existence recevront-ils un jour les satisfactions qu'ont pu promettre autrefois Jérusalem, Athènes ou Florence ? Est-il encore possible de construire une cité permettant à l'homme de poursuivre un développement harmonieux ? Avant de penser un nouveau mode d'existence urbaine, il faut comprendre la nature historique de la cité et l'évolution de son rôle primitif. Par l'analyse de la formation des regroupements urbains, ce classique fait apparaître les limites démographiques, technologiques et économiques au-delà desquelles la cité ne rend plus possible la survie d'une unité communautaire. Critique d'une organisation économique qui sacrifie le progrès de l'humanité au perfectionnement des machines, l'auteur revient au souci du bien public, à la recherche d'un équilibre écologique et à la coopération sociale comme base de notre milieu de vie.
